<r12a> https://www.w3.org/International/

<r12a> https://www.w3.org/International/resource-index

richard: the above link lets you find things by topic/subtopic
... hard to maintain

<rebecaruiz> Have you seen this by Dave Cramer? https://www.w3.org/TR/dpub-latinreq/

<scribe> ACTION: richard: send www-international an email about removing topic index and prepare new home page and other page mods as needed to support that [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/04/28-i18n-minutes.html#action02]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-512 - Send www-international an email about removing topic index and prepare new home page and other page mods as needed to support that [on Richard Ishida - due 2016-05-05].

Definition of whitespace

richard: responded to stephen p saying we need more use cases
... ask if we can make this topic more visible?

i18n-discuss repo?

richard: we have a thread on q element
... split from default ml styling of quotes
... discussion got forked to a single list
... it's a recurring problem
... messages tend to "spread out" and discuss subtopics
... if in a github issue, easier to monitor
... and to get folks to split off to a new issue if needed
... it would be useful to hold discussion in github instead of mail
... in addition, summary in wiki
... struggling to produce in wiki
... gave up and built html and dumped into wiki
... could do both issue handling and document storage in same github repository
... and so......
... I went off and careated "i18n-discuss" repo

<r12a> https://github.com/w3c/i18n-discuss

<najib> +1 to move issue to github

<q> element

richard: need to raise an issue on html5 list
... think there is a problem with the default styling in rendering section of html5
... would like you to discuss
... this is not about whether <q> is a good idea, etc.
... just focused on the specific default rendering in section 10

addison: what you set out to do in first place
... raise on their list or by issue?

richard: raise an issue
... just to be clear, suggesting that
... groundswell in dpub
... quotations should by default follow outer language
... florian offered an option
... or just use html @lang

addison: i support doing that?

+1

jck: +1 as long as noted I haven't changed mind in last week

<rebecaruiz> +1

richard: if need something else, style it

<scribe> ACTION: richard: raise an issue against html about default q-styling [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2016/04/28-i18n-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-513 - Raise an issue against html about default q-styling [on Richard Ishida - due 2016-05-05].

richard: went through and added things to the list above
... pretty well all of these were closed in our tracker
... but reopened the ones that seemed to have things going on

addison: will go through my inbox

richard: some additional issues in their list
... probably necessary and go through their list

addison: any 5.1?
